Google's passkey mess
Google's poorly designed passkey implementation continues to cause
problems. I have chosen not to use passkeys, and have not enabled them
on any sites or devices. Notwithstanding this, some sites still
trigger passkey-related device chooser functions in the Chrome
browser. Today this caused me to have to retry logging in to an
important site over 10 times, because Google's passkey push was
interfering with my ability to use my FIDO security key as my chosen
second factor. This was intensely annoying and a terrible user
experience. Thanks a bunch, Google. -L
